Thud wheel wells color?

Nose wheel interior color semi-dark green. Main wing well color is white.i flew these machines.

Some thuds arrived in SEA in natural metal or silver paint with silver painted gear legs and chromate green wheel wells. Later arrivals with SEA camo paint had white wheel wells and gear legs. I do not recall  the date when SEA camo was ordered (Tech order?). Anyone?

Here is an F model walkaround unrestored found on Google Images:

I recognize that F-105 as part of the collection at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas (North Dallas really).  They have a very nice collection of war-birds there and it's well worth a visit if one is in the area.

Also check out the D models on the main F-105 site, paying attention to the unrestored D sitting in Poland.

emelen,

I just BM'd  Prime Portal.  A really good site and Ty for the heads up.

 There is a website named Prime Portal easy to use go to the aircraft section and look up f 105 walk around by Howard Mason your answers are there.

Sorry , I forgot to add it is a Vietnam based plane.

The instructions also shows the undercart legs as white.....just wanted to make sure this is correct before I start painting.

Thanx

From what I have read, early THUD's wheel wells were either silver(real early) or chromate green, only after Vietnam did they start getting painted white.
